I would be tempted to say that there is something wrong... martin, they are status messages of some sort that are coming from the two PERC cards installed in the machine, a 5/i for the SAS disks inside it and a 5/e for the MD1000 disk array attached to it via a SAS cable. since i don't have a console attached at this machine's location, i can't easily dump the messages here. suffice it to say that i get similar messages on my other freebsd fileserver running on essentially the same hardware (amd64 on poweredge 1950 + MD1000 enclosure). if you really want to see them, i can acquire them from the console whenever i reboot the machine but only after i have the console reading out. Jake, Maybe you're getting those messages because you have 2 cards installed but I still don't think it's normal that you get that much messages from good working cards. I think it would be interesting to see those messages. Martin if i wait 5-10 minutes, the messages 'settle' and the installer gets further along, but the amd64 installer seizes whereas the i386 one gets to the usual install menu, i.e. 'choose your country', etc. if the amd64 installer is seizing up, can anyone recommend a workaround? i'm not about to install a 32-bit arch onto this machine since it needs to do ZFS which is known to have additional problems with 32-bit arches. cheers, jake Martin is there any way to disable these status messages so that i can get freebsd installed? AFAICT there is nothing broken with the battery on either of the PERC 5/i or 5/e cards installed. cheers, jake ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
